Some decoder adjustment may be required, but you can
usually get your locos to start moving with very little throttle.
LIMIT TOP SPEED:
With DCC, you can pre-determine the
maximum speed of every loco. This is very useful on a
switching layout like mine or for yard locos. When you limit
the top speed of a loco to 20 scale miles per hour (SMPH), for
example, you expand the control range. Now you run from
0- 20 SMPH, vs. 0-100 SMPH. Two advantages: increased loco
speed control and locos cannot run at "warp speed".
STOP ANYWHERE:
You don't have to design stopping blocks
into your layout. There is no need for track shutoff switches,
making operations easier and construction quicker. With no
